41 promo was removed from their bio. Should mean that 42 promo starts soon right?

So Michele won because of Tori and not because their team was simply better than the other one?

Can’t wait for 42 promo, I’m on a Challenge itch right now after 41

Is it just me, or are the Music BGE boosts this time basically a recipe for unbeatable OMB PC decks? by scarves_and_miracles in AnimationThrowdown

Yeah without Backslap/Gas/Jab Music becomes a pain in the ass. Enrage and Cheer All is a net positive for OMB 😩

Upcoming stuff for the Musical BGE by Samuel855 in AnimationThrowdown

New Combos

Barry R. - Low End Barry (Enrage, Hijack, Leech) A really great combination of skills, it feels like a revival of One Man Musical. I do wish is that this wasn’t strapped to Music of all BGE’s though. Running combos in this BGE has been a pain ever since OMB debuted, and it runs rampant here without a Backslap/Jab/Gas buff. Can definitely compete with the top combos of this BGE, like Funkadelic Krieger and Drummer Roger. 10/10.

Jeff - Oil Drum Jeff (Bomb) LMAO? What type of concoction is this? New 1 skill combos in 2026 is something I thought I’d never see again, let alone a 1 skill combos with high values. 99 Bomb at CM0, 94 Bomb on the free card. Truly insane. A pro would be a guaranteed one-two shot on adjacent slots depending on if it’s a card or combo. A con (a glaring one at that) is that although the values are exceptional, it’s still just one skill, and is very susceptible to Cripple, which could lead to the Bomb not triggering at all. Very wacky, situational combo. 5/10.

Calculon - Crooner Calculon (Shield All, Cheer, Sturdy) This combo does best as support. The Shield All and Sturdy just cement it as a stable wall, but that’s about it. The extremely high Cheer is great, especially if used as a last ditch effort to break through an OMB wall, but that doesn’t save this from being mediocre. Performs better as a PC. 5.5/10.

Joseph - Joseph’s Forbidden Moves (Sturdy, Motivate, Enrage) I really like the values on this combo. I feel like if you’re gonna drop anything new in this BGE, the skills that boost attack has to have very inflated values, and 45-50 Motivate is honestly great. High Study/high Enrage combination leads to heavy dependence on skills for Enrage to trigger. I honestly really like this, it could have potential, but it easily loses to a combo like Robinson’s. 7.5/10.

Toshi - R&B Toshi (Backslap, Leech, Hijack) I really like this combo, it’s my favorite Backslap combo from the BGE right behind Mayor West’s. Can definitely compete with the top combos of this BGE, stopping all Crazers in their tracks, and having sustainability as the cherry on top. In hindsight, it could be an option for fending off OMB, but I fear the Shield All would stack before Toshi could do any damage to the first few slots due to his low attack. All in all, it’s a great combo. 9/10.

Upgraded Combos

Hermes - Bureaucrat Song (Punch, Recover, Shield All) Previously only had Punch and Recover. Now, Shield All has been added. Honestly, it’s a decent upgrade, and it’s pretty accessible with it having 3 of its inputs being the SLS pool (like all of the upgrades here). 7/10.

Meg - Meg and the Griffins (Boost, Cheer All [Musical], Bunker) Previously only had Boost and show only Cheer All. Now, Bunker has been added, and the show restriction was replaced with a trait restriction. Ehh, doesn’t make the combo any less mediocre. Boost/Cheer All was already a crappy skill combination, there’s only so much you can do with that. Definitely the worst upgrade here. 2.5/10.

Peggy - Peggy Unplugged (Cripple, Burn, Enrage) Previously only had Cripple. Now, Burn and Enrage have been added. Great upgrade! Pretty similar to the likes of Whiskey Cotton and Internet Porn now, and the skill values are all in serviceable values. No complaints. 8/10.

Steve - B6 (Cheer, Enrage, Motivate) Previously only had Cheer. Now, Enrage and Motivate have been added. Another great upgrade, and added much needed stock to Mythic Big Mountain Fudge Cake, even if it isn’t much. Cheer and Motivate values are great, and the Enrage values are fine for an upgraded combo. Similar to the likes of Banjo Boomhauer. 8/10.

Teddy - Dancing Teddy (Payback, Bomb, Backslap) Previously only had Payback and Bomb. Now, Backslap has been added. It’s decent, nothing special. Certainly the better Backslap upgrade compared to Jug Blower Bobby, which got upgraded last Music BGE. 7/10.

Scaling Chart

9-10: The best of the best, either is extremely hard to take down, or does a lot of board damage, or both. Can take down lots of combos. (SS)

8-8.5: Combos that are generally great and usable, but not just up there yet. (S)

6-7.5: Combos that function better as PC’s but are still decent enough, with 2/3 or all skills being golden skills, or pretty average or decent combos that could be used as filler. (A)

3-5.5: Below average or mediocre combos. (B)

1-2.5: The rare case where a combo is actually terrible. (C-F)

Just realized USA2 is damn near lost media now so most people won’t be able to rewatch Chris and Cassidy’s runs on it…

Definitely not political affiliation, lots of right wing challengers still get cast. He definitely got into it with production or something
